Mediterranean Vista

Tonite´s post is another view from The Cami Murtas Barranco of the Easter weekend, nothing special about this, but i find it pleasing on the eye (well, my eye at least), it´s a classic Mediterranean view, the kind of thing you´d see on the postcard rack in thousand tourist shop´s in this part of the world.

Tomorrow´s post (and possibly Saturday´s post too) are going to be fauna and Flora related, i think it´s important to feature these, as these thing´s are part and parcel of the area we live in.

I´m feverishly wracking my brains as to what i´m going to be doing photographically speaking, this weekend, as Amazon informs me that my 5D MK II arrives tommorrow, so i guess i´d better download the Manual (in English) to get a sneak peek of the inner workings of the 5D MKII. This camera is imported from France (It´s why we get it so quick, 3 days, i can´t fault Amazon on this) but if past history is anything to go by, the manual comes in: French,Italian,Portuguese and Spanish-i prefer to deal with technology in my own language, as especially southern Europeans tend to move all the words around in a sentence making verbic sense, actually, a nonsense for me!

It´s not a new model Mike-2008 model like yours i think, (but new of course and within my budget!),I´ve been playing around with it today and i like it, i don´t think a better camera is gonna make me a better photographer but i think i can at least recoup some of what i´ve spent out with this camera! it´s got a nice feel and weight and of ´course i can get movies of Sophie growing up!

Actually, the 5D MK II still seems new to me. I’m still on the original 5D from 2005. I’m perfectly happy with my old 5D. The low-light sensitivity in the newer models would be nice, but I just don’t shoot in low light that often. Or if I do, I want the slow shutter speeds that come with it.

This is an interesting comment Mike as i´m just about to post something lowlight tonite (please bear in mind i´ve only had a few hours practice with the 5D). Like you and your 5D, i think me and my 5D are gonna be buddies for many years to come!
